Saint-Fiacre-sur-Maine walks

This loop mainly takes place in the vineyards between Saint-Fiacre-sur-Maine and Château-Thébaud, south of Nantes. It offers some lovely views, particularly at the Belvédère de Château-Thébaud, which overlooks the Maine. The circuit follows farm tracks through the vineyards (some of which may be private). The landscape changes with the seasons and the different colours of the vineyards.

This hike starts at the port of La Haye-Fouassière and follows a circular route along the south bank of the Sèvre Nantaise to Monnières (on the Way of St James), with an optional detour to the reservoir on the Sèvre at Le Pallet (approximately 15 km without this option). It offers commanding views over the Sèvre and its surroundings and often winds its way through vineyards.

This hike takes place mainly on paths. Going from village to village, it offers a beautiful variety of landscapes: there are both wide-open views of the vineyards and the Sèvre Nantaise valley, and wooded passages, particularly along the banks of the Sèvre. It can be enjoyed in any season, with the colours and light offering ever-changing pleasures!

Traditional houses, superb paths through the vineyards, shady banks of the Sèvre: a wonderful itinerary!

A walk along the banks of the Sèvre and through the vineyards. Lovely view of Saint-Fiacre.

A family hike that crosses villages, forests, woods and vineyards south of Vertou. A circular route starting from the École de l'Enclos, which largely follows the Portillon route.

This hike starts on the north bank of the Sèvre Nantaise but mainly takes place on the south bank. It offers both beautiful views along the river and panoramic views over the vineyards. It is accessible all year round in principle, but in wet weather, some sections may be muddy.

The section that follows the Maine valley is absolutely superb. The rest of the route consists of a few small roads, mostly paths, vineyards and woods. Practical information: two variants are available, which, when combined, reduce the route from 21 km to approximately 16.5 km.

This walk takes you along the Sèvre Nantaise, passing through a small port and winding its way through the Muscadet vineyards, while you admire the small, typical, historic villages of the Nantes vineyards.

Starting at Pont de Louen on the banks of the Goulaine (and its marsh in winter), this route immediately climbs to the Butte de la Roche to overlook the area, with a panoramic view as far as Nantes. It then winds its way between vineyards and charming hamlets, with other panoramic views such as at the Moulin du Pé. Crossing the village of Loroux-Bottereau, it then makes a circular route back to the hill and the starting point.

The Marais de Goulaine, its landscapes, flora and fauna, two châteaux, market gardens and vineyards. A whole programme of discovery! These highly diverse landscapes, this almost wild nature alongside market gardens and vineyards, are among the nature trails we love to explore.

The paths, the islands, the golf course and the horses make for a route that can be adapted to three different lengths on flat terrain and in all seasons. Enjoy it alone, in a group or with the family.

Learn about the history of the pillars of the large Briacé estate in the last century and discover splendid views over the vineyards.

A lovely walk through fields and woodland between Geneston and Saint-Colomban. Passes through several hamlets.
